I want to confirm that my 2010 F07 DOES NOT have HUD turn signal capability. BLINKER_HUD_ENABLE is not in the KOMBI and HUD_TURNSIGNAL is not in HU_CIC or anywhere else for that matter. I tried clicking F01 (as you should) and even F10 when connecting using ESYS and it's the same deal... those options are nowhere to be found.

RDC_SAFETY (TPMS temp and psi) doesn't work for me either.

Maybe the KOMBI and CIC need to be firmware upgraded?

Did you ever upgrade your car-software? MAybe you have to.

I'm on 47.4.002
You also need newer files for e-sys to enable some things.
I use the 47.4 data files. and the HUD Turnsignal is working fine

unfortunately I didn't try because i saw that i have the rubber valve stems :-(

That's too bad! Are you running RFT? If so, in most places, that would be illegal. Some of them are so stiff, you may not notice a flat if driving straight on a nice highway until the tire failed or tried to exit at speed off of a ramp. Most people would notice it when turning, but may not notice at all just going fairly straight.

In most countries, it's standard, and required. SUrprised, it isn't there.

yes I'm running on RFT 20". I was thinking this spring to put Non RFT on the wheels. But i saw a women in the middle of the Highway with a Flat and a damaged 22" wheel and i was thinking "ouuuuutch" So i decided then to buy again the RFT's.
What would be illegal? To drive with RFT's?

In the USA, TPMS are now required on all models (some don't use sensors, but rely on the antilock brakes' sensor to detect variations in wheel rotations). Tire specialists aren't supposed to install RFT without the sensors, and they always come that way from the factory. Did you change tires or wheels sometime along the way? The tire installer may have (mistankenly or fraudulently) taken then out and just put in new 'normal' valve stems. If so, you got screwed. With a tire change, they're supposed to use a new gasket, but keep the TPMS sensor. In the USA, they're around $50 each, so not bad for him to sell to someone later on.

If you go to the vehicle status page, do you have an entry for Tire Pressure? If you do, your vehicle came with them, and somewhere along the way, they disappeared!

It can be quite unsafe to drive faster than the recommendations with a RFT when it is flat, or to drive further than they specify. Without the TPMS, you may not realize it until you try to turn at speed. This can make the vehicle unstable. The max speed when you have a flat with a RFT is moderately low, much lower than your limited access highways. So, at least where I live, it is illegal because of the potential unstable situation if you didn't realize you had a flat - the sensors at least warn you to both slow down, and be more cautious. I do not know if that warning is tied into the vehicle's stability program or engine management system.

ok here in Switzerland aren't such law's as i know.
I do not have the TPMS but the RPA, FTMS(ReifenPannenAnzeige, FLatTireMonitor).... which is looking on the rotation of the tires... so if a tire runs faster then the others, then it shows a message... this should be especially the case on a flat...

To be clear, I have an older model GT. 2010. I did not upgrade the software. I was not able to code turn signals in HUD or TPMS temp and psi. Also, I did not code getting the phone, phone contact list and radio info to display in the HUD.

However, I did successfully code Close Trunk from Inside Button.... along with the other coding options listed at the beginning of this thread.

It appears that if you want full functionality of the HUD, you must have the software updated.

I like the mirror fold and window control from FOB features. Did the mirrors ever fold prior to your coding changes? Just purchased a CPO 2010 550 and are waiting on delivery so I'm checking out what features I think I want that I can alter. Thanks for starting this thread!

Congratulations! There are still 2010 CPOs out there?? WOW..... Want to share your deal? How about some pics!!!
Yes, the mirrors do fold from the button in the cabin also.

Just remember, if you fold the mirrors from the button in the cabin, you cannot unfold from fob, and vice versa. Same thing with opening/closing trunk from cabin, trunk lid, or fob. It took me a few frustrating minutes to figure this out.

Thanks! And there are actually "tons" (44 550's ATM) considering how many we're sold total. I will definitely share, but have yet to receive final paperwork (just committed to buying yesterday afternoon) and delivery as I had to go halfway across US to find the right mix of options. So once it is in our possession pics and details will be posted!

That's curious about the access limitation, like each operation is a closed circuit that once utilized deactivates all other competing circuits.

Reason: Actually less than that as we claimed one and not all are 2010's...oops!

Lol, yes I agree 100% with your assessment but I went to www.bimmershops.com who lists all indy's in the area and fortunately the dealership obliged to take the car over to the shop (it helps when they enjoy driving the car ;-)
With 15750 milies on the car and all the service records provided I had the Indy pay special attention to the only possible red flag of multiple tire mounts. He reported back if he hadn't known the car was CPO he would have thought it was brand new and just a couple of low battery voltage faults with everything else checking out clean I pulled the trigger!

As an aside I purchased a '99 5 series wagon through eBay in 03 through a shady operation and just dumped that car with 188,000 miles so I was less apprehensive about going through a CPO dealership, plus the Indy gave the dealership a very favorable thumbs up.

Also these guys are getting desperate to dump them as I had just missed out on a different one with the same options at the same price. I'll keep the suspense high and won't divulge details until the car arrives!
